THE PEOPLE’S ROLL CALL
"I want my South Carolina legislators to know…"
This is your chance to finish that sentence and show our lawmakers that South Carolinians have something to say and won't be ignored!
The People’s Roll Call is a powerful interactive art project designed to amplify the voices of South Carolinians and hold power accountable.
On January 14th, our messages will be displayed on the state house steps and delivered to lawmakers ensuring our voices are part of the conversation shaping the future of our state.
Every day, state legislators make decisions that impact our health, finances, safety, schools, votes, access to clean air and water. OUR voices matters, and The People’s Roll Call is our chance to tell lawmakers what matters to US.
